Leverage... truly the dividing line between quick wealth and quick zeroing out, with no middle ground.
Liquidation fees are deadly, many people die over these details.
Funding rates are incredible, you’re bleeding even while lying down, and over time, your account is gone.
High leverage is a gambler’s playground, the easiest to lose your mind when losing money.
Contracts may seem fair but are actually carefully designed traps.
This article exposes all the pitfalls clearly, but the key is that some people still want to jump in.
People without self-control are just looking for death with this stuff; the market’s teaching fees are insanely expensive.
100x leverage is basically playing Russian roulette.
Rates, fees, liquidation costs... layer after layer, all clearly cut.
Spot trading is slow but at least gives peace of mind; contracts are exciting but easy to lose both money and people.

A 100x leverage sounds like instant wealth, but one point and it's gone. Really, I've seen too many people have their dreams shattered.
Funding rates are just invisible ways to cut leeks; they deduct a little every day, and you hardly notice.
Contracts are just a casino. Don't be fooled by the words "fair"; in the end, retail investors are always the ones losing money.
My classmate invested 50,000 hoping to double it. After a month, only 5,000 left. Now they never mention contracts anymore.
Fees, liquidation costs, funding rates—triple threats. This calculation is just too complicated.

100x leverage? I don't have that kind of guts. I've seen too many people lose everything in one night.
---
Funding rate is really a scam; over time, it’s more costly than trading fees. No one has ever really calculated it properly.
---
That's true, but most people just love to gamble. When they lose, they keep increasing their leverage, and they just can't stop.
---
Perpetual contracts are just tools to harvest retail investors. Don't be fooled by "two-way trading"; in the end, the exchange still makes the profit.
---
The liquidation fee is a real kick in the pants. Who would have thought you'd have to pay an extra fee?
---
I've only seen those with strong self-control stick to 3x leverage and make steady profits. Most people simply can't do that.
---
Fee settlement is really an invisible tax. They deduct a little every day, and by the end of the month, it really hurts.
---
They talk like saviors, but still, some people want to gamble. Can't really persuade them.

It all sounds right, but I still think 99% of people can't figure out how to play with this.
---
The higher the leverage, the easier it is to get caught up. Really, I've seen too many people go all-in in just a few days.
---
Funding rates are indeed easy to overlook, slowly eating away at your profits without you noticing.
---
Liquidation fees are crazy. After losing all your money, you still have to pay an additional fee—it's like giving away money.
---
Not everyone is suitable; honestly holding coins steadily might earn more.
---
125x leverage? Dream on. A single dip and you're wiped out—it's exciting but risky.
---
It looks pretty tempting, but it's basically a money-absorbing machine with a bunch of fees.
---
This article is well-written, but advice is often ignored; people only realize when they lose money.
---
The most ruthless thing about fee rates is that you think you're earning, but actually you're paying tuition.

Basically, it's gambling. I have a friend who got liquidated with 100x leverage, and he's still regretting it.
Perpetual contracts are indeed tempting, but the fees and funding rates are really killing profits; all the gains are eaten up by costs.
It seems that most people trading contracts now have a gambler's mentality, wanting to double their money quickly but ending up losing even faster.
Funding rates are such an outrageous hidden cost, settled daily, and over time, your principal is gone.
Don't be fooled by that 1 to 125x leverage; a small fluctuation can lead to liquidation. I'll just play spot trading honestly.
The tricks of contracts are too deep—fees, liquidation costs, funding fees—so many costs are deducted to the max, and retail investors are always the ones losing money in the end.
I've heard too many stories of liquidation; the higher the leverage, the faster you die. You need self-control.
Looking at these costs, there's basically no profit margin; everything is eaten up by the platform.

A 100x leverage can be liquidated with just one point move. This thing is tailor-made for gamblers...
永续合约为啥这么火?说白了,就是一种没有交割日期的期货,最吸引人的是双向交易机制——看好行情做多,看空行情做空,无论币价涨还是跌都能找到获利方向。
为什么那么多人对它趋之若鹜?原因其实很现实。做现货的小散户往往要等待牛市周期,还得寄希望于手中币种能有足够涨幅,1万块想翻几倍基本是天方夜谭。但合约就不同了——不用等漫长周期,也不用只能单向做多,感觉上更公平,还能规避一些庄家控盘的风险。听起来诱人吧?但别急着下单,这里面的坑深着呢。
**杠杆陷阱最致命**
1到125倍的杠杆听起来能快速暴富,但实际上是把双刃剑。100倍杠杆下,价格哪怕波动一个点就能让你本金翻倍,但同样也会瞬间归零。问题是很多人在小杠杆亏了之后,脑子一热就往高杠杆冲,最后的结局往往就是爆仓出局。
**隐形费用吃掉利润**
资金费率是个容易被忽视的坑。为了保持与现货价格同步,每8小时就要结算一次费率。当费率为正时,做多方需要给做空方付钱;费率为负时则反过来。具体怎么算?用成交额(你的本金乘以杠杆倍数)再乘以费率就行了。天天结算这么一点点,时间长了也是笔不小的支出。
**手续费和爆仓费用**
吃单要收万分之五的手续费,挂单万分之二,买卖都要收,账户要是触及强平价格直接爆仓,还得再付一笔高额费用。有点赌性的人往往忽视这些细节,建议一定要提前设置止损,给强平价留出足够距离。
**最后的忠告**
如果你自控力一般、容易被好胜心左右、本身就有赌瘾,或者这笔钱对你来说是刚性支出,那就别碰永续合约了。市场会让你付出代价去学这堂课。
